Review :
'An excellent reference source ... with the chapters on personal favourites hopefully leading to the exploration of lesser known but equally worthy names.' - Howard Maxford, Film Review 'Excellent ... the standard of the pieces is so uniformly high it almost seems churlish to singly anyone out ... overall a rewarding tour through the current cinematic topography.' - Sight and Sound
